She also faced backlash for her treatment of her other niece, Dream Kardashian

KHLOE Kardashian has been slammed for letting her niece Penelope wear a seemingly inappropriate T-shirt.

The Kardashians star, 39, posted a snap of the 11-year-old wearing a top with an image of her aunt in a tiny pink bikini on the front.

Also on Penelope’s T-shirt were photos of Khloe in a silver dress and a black crop top and blazer.

The preteen was standing next to her cousin, Kim Kardashian’s daughter North West, 10.

North was wearing a similar T-shirt – but with images of Kourtney wearing a red dress on the front.

Khloe posted the photo on Snapchat and wrote: “North + P.”

Critics slammed Penelope’s T-shirt, saying it was “weird and icky.”

One wrote on Reddit: “Why does kourt let P wear this shirt?? khloe’s pics are a bit much.”

Another added: “Could be fun to have your pics and name on a shirt for your own self but to make your kids wear them?

“Narc 101. Khloe is obsessed with her body so no surprise. Very bad taste.”

A third posted: “This is so weird & icky.”

Someone else commented: “Y’all think about your own aunts in outfits like these, then imagine wearing a shirt with that image printed in them. Yikes.”

Khloe has two children herself – daughter True, 5, and son Tatum, 1 – with her ex Tristan Thompson.

She also has a close relationship with her brother Rob’s daughter Dream, 7.

Earlier this year, Khloe faced similar backlash for saying she is like Dream’s third parent.

During Dream’s sixth birthday party on The Kardashians, Scott Disick said to Khloe: “Just can’t believe that you’re basically somewhat of a co-parent to Dream.”

Khloe smiled and said: “I mean…” as Scott went on: “You’re like more than an aunt.”

The Good American founder replied: “Probably more than an aunt. Just the third parent. The third wheel.”

DREAM’S ‘THIRD PARENT’?

Khloe added in a confessional: “Dream is one of my babies too just like the rest of them and I absolutely love being a mom to people.”

She went on: “I love mothering people. It’s so in my blood just to be a mom. I wouldn’t have it any other way.

“I feel like I’m a third parent for Dream, I guess. I know how important it is for Dream to have a great maternal influence, whether that be from me or her own mom or whoever.”

Blac Chyna was first linked to Khloe’s brother Rob in January 2016 and she gave birth to Dream in November of that year.

After dating on and off while raising Dream, they split for good in 2017.

In 2020, they agreed to share custody of the tot, alternating across a weekly schedule.
